What is the most affordable way to screen a porch?

• <div><p>The most affordable way to screen in a porch is to add a base track system to an existing wooden frame. The whole process should cost around <b>$2,000 </b>for supplies, depending on the size of your porch. It’s much pricier to build a screened-in porch or sunroom from scratch—and you’ll probably need to hire a contractor for a project like that.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain new windows?

• <div><p>Regularly clean glass and frames, inspect seals, and reapply caulking as needed.</p></div>

Q: Are window screens standard sizes?

• <div><p>Window screens are available in several standard sizes, such as 18 inches by 14 inches or 20 inches by 20 inches. You can also order custom screens to match a non-standard window. Keep in mind that screens don&rsquo;t necessarily have to fit the entire window, so you may be able to insert a standard-size screen even if your window is slightly larger.</p></div>

Q: How long do window screens normally last?

• <div><p>Windows screens normally last between 10 and 12 years before they need to be replaced. Rips, tears, or brittle material can all compromise window screen function. While small tears can be repaired, larger areas of damage are an indication that it&rsquo;s time to replace the entire screen. Other signs of damaged window screens to look out for include sagging, fading, or spots that look thinner compared to the rest of the screen.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to secure windows?

• <div><p>There are a number of ways to secure windows. You can add <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/motion-detectors-vs-window-sensors.htm">motion detectors or window sensors</a> to detect movement and impact or change the window locks to make them stronger. Some of the ways you can secure windows are much like how you secure a home: closing the curtains at night and setting up security cameras outside so you can monitor your property even in your absence. </p></div>

David Soukup came on time on the date specified. He installed the door system efficiently and left the job site as clean as it was when he arrived. The exterior door and screen door work as they should. I am happy with the work he did.

They are quick and they are close to us. I haven't had problems with them. The job went good. I was happy with the quick turnaround and they fixed it without us to replace the whole thing. We've had them replaced both the screen and glass.
